such is the simplicity and efficiency of this
native code of canine ethics. The latest ex-
plot of these canine marauders of which we
have any account is the destruction of small
herd of bears. 1t appears that about two
weeks ago dozen bears of tho dreaded and
large silver-tip variety came down from the
surrounding mountains to enjoy themselves on
the sunny slopes of the Warm Spring Basin.
In the course Of the day those bears all got to-
gether, and while thus massed were attacked
by about 100 of the wild dogs.
The conflict was terrible. Tho bears fought
with all the courage and ferocty for which
the silyer-tip is noted, but the mingled strain
of staghound and bulldog supplied a courage
and ferocity greater still, and at the end of
half an hour every bear had died where he was
brought to bay.
The dogs suffered severely, twenty-five of
their number perishing in the fight. The sur
viyors wasted little time, however, in mourn
ing over their dead companions, but began at
once on the banquet their own powers had
provided, and in an hour from the time the
combat ceased only the cean-picked bones of
the twelve bears remained to tell of the string
gle to the death which had taken place and
the savage feast which had followed it.

were ripping on the sand. My clothes were
dripping wet. The occurrence of the storm
came TO me like an electric shock. My first
thoughts were regarding father and mother.i
Were they safe or-but reached the horrible;
alternative. About thirty feet away saw tha
canoe cast high and dry upon the beach. It's
SIDE was stove in where it had struck the rock
Running up to it, / saw it was empty. Along
the stretch OF beach no other object was dis~
cernible. /.
81 eyed the expanse of water and perceiyedf
dark object bobbing up and down in the
SURF. A closer view revealed what caused NV
blood to almost freeze in my veins. That
which was the sport of the waves were the
bodies OF my parents They were clasped to-
gether. Overcoming the feeling of horror and
sickness that came over me dashed into the
water up to my waist, and with almost SUPERB
human strength brought the bodies out of thei
water. Dragging them to dry spot fell
over the cold forms in a deathly faint. 1 re-
covered my senses only to faint again. I will
not dwellupo what followed. /
-Four days passed, and learned that was
on q small island, which appeared to be unin-
habited except by nasty looking species Of
bat and small pigs and rats. The pigs wero
wild and savage, and had to evade them to-
avoid being attacked.
My only sustenance was coacoanuts and a
species of wild berries. The nuts [ had found
on the ground, where they had fallen during
storms. According to my reckoning about
three months of this monotonous experience
passed away. My clothes were worn into tat
tiers. Every morning bathed in the sea and
made frugal meal on fruit. The rest of tho
day spent in exercise and reading stained
copy OF the Bible, which found in the locker
OF the canoe. The canoe, when turned over,
made comfortable abiding place at night I
crawling into it through the hole in the side.
There were three storms during my stay there
or course, was drenched. / think that if my
existence as Crusoe had lasted much longer
would have either gone crazy or died AS Id
was, the consolation afforded one by reading
the Bible gave me strength.
"One day saw party of natives land from
q canoe. | hid and watched them, and soon
recognized among them several friendly faces L
had seen at the Wesleyan school at Kandava.

me. | cannot tell how glad / was to be taken
IN their canoe to the colony at Kandavu, where
was heartily welcomed. The deepest regret
was expressed over the death of my poor pa
rents This is all have to say in relation to
the subject. L determined to follow up the
good work of my father, and have been sue
cessful. The treacherous Ko-Ko was banished
from the island, and died in leprosy colony a
year or so afterward. had my parents re-

ed end even eaten by these featherv cannibals.
Gardens, fields and fruit trees suffer in the
absence of insect-eating birds, and the sparrow
eats birds, fruit berries, grapes, peas, beans,
grains, ETC., and allows insects to prey at will
upon them. Ifhe ever had relish for insects
he has lost it and feeds instead upon the
products he was expected to protect.
Mr.. Quincy, an English etomologist, says
sparrows in their best estate, do one-ffth of
good to four-fifth of harm, and in many in
stances they do nothing but harm" In Eng
land tide damage caused by sparrows directly
is put at several million dollars annually.l The
department of agriculture suggests various ex-
pedients for disposing of this bird, his nests,
eggs and young. They are to be attacked by
day and by night. Their colonies may be easily
destroyed by the free use of water, or by tear
ing them down with rakes. They may be fed
in some convenient spot for few days, at a
regular hour, and then, when they are Rmassed
together, they can be killed with small shot
Nets may be spread for them, or grain may be
watered in o solution of nuX vomica or arsenic
and disposed in their feeding places.

A Bug Dug the Grave.
From the Newburyport News.


A party Of young people witnessed very
interesting performance in yard on School street
on Friday afternoon. dead mouse was thrown
out into the yard by party residing in house. the
body falling near large beetle bug which CHANGED
to be strollng through the grass at the time. The
bug seemed to be somewhat surprised at having
something come so suddenly upon him, and stopped
on his way to investigate Finding there was no
life In the body, the insect at once commenced
operations to bury it. 1t dug hole the under
pinning of the house, and tLen walked around to
the opposite side Of the dead mouse and putting its
head under the nanimate body it worked his body
slowly in, and in this got the mouse over to
the place dug. After getting the body to the hole it
found that it was too big to go in, it commenced
to heap dirt on it until it was all covered up When
the work was done it crawled away, seeming per
fectly satisfied with its job Whether the burial was
out of sympathy or for further the party who
witessed it could not tell but be that it may it
was an interesting event.

Wild Dogs Of the Mountains.

Win NIFtI NDNNIdIuttT.
The writer has had occasion one or two times
prior TO this TO tell Of the fierce nature and
savage practices Of the wild dogs which infest
the mountains Of the Upper Wind River.
These dogs are not the common wolf Of the
western prairies and mountains. They are
something far more powerful and dangerous.
Several years since a male Scotch staghound
and female English bulldog ran away in
company from Fort Washable, made their
home in the mountains, and these wild dogs Of
the Upper Wind River are their savage Off
spring. With such ancestorship how can this
wild offspring help being canine terror?
To the speed and endurance Of the Scotch
staghound Is mated the ferocty and tcnacity
Of the English bulldox. and these wild dogs
are evidently worthy IN every way Of their
origin Speedy, savage and stubborn, these
animals are deferred by no pursuit, are re-
strained by no fear and are daunted by no
difficulties. They pursue, STAY and deyour !;

long as any worms make their appearance
Wrapping the stem of the cabbage plant with
thick paper, some distance below and above
the surface, when setting out is effective but
troublesome 1t is possible also that smearing
the stems with kerosene emulsion would keep
the worms off, but we have never seen it tried.
x Y a., Milledgeville: viii clover sown after
oats are planted and narrowed or brushed in do
well? Land very rich and wish to SOW down first OF
FEBRUARY; have never seen clover with oats, and
would 1t not be well to mix small quantity of blue
grass with clover?
Clover sown after oats and narrowed in does
well If the oats are not too thick, and if the
ground is rich, as you say yours is. The
greatest danger lies in crab grass coming up
after the oats, and smothering the clover. On
rich land and with plenteous rains, grass will
grow faster than your clover. For this reason
clover does best with grains which are taken
OIL the land early, and which are followed by
weeds instead of grass. If the weeds threaten
to smother the clover, moving will soon
make all right Not so with grass. The
clover will not last more than three years,
unless allowed to mature crop of seed on the
land, and the land is broken up again. Blue
grass takes several years to make a good sod.
If. therefore, you do not wish to perpetuate
the clover, but let the land remain unplowed,
SOW blue grass with the clover.

Rirds that Drink Beer.
From the Globe Democrat.

NEW YORK, December 3-The little hotels
beyond the end of the cable road, with big-win
dowed pavilons overlooking the placid Harlem
and pretty Fordham Heights, were quite de-
serted by visitors, even in the warm days of
last month"; A couple drinking beer in one of
them one day, and reviving recollections of
more lively times, were astonished at the ac-
tions of a couple of birds that futtered about
their heads, finally alighting on the table and
greedily drinking from the beer puddes there
on. Again and again were the wet spots on the
table replenished from the glasses, AT last the
birds satisfied their thirst and flew contentedly
up to high perches among the thinkers of the
roof. The boy who serves the beer said they
were cedar birds, and that he had trapped in
the back yard. He kept them Gagged for three
weeks, and after that gave them the freedom
of the pavilion. He does not know how they
came to find out that beer was good, but they
now seek it with avidity. 1t does not affect
them at all in the direction of tipsness.
'They are nuisance" said the customer.
81 suppose if it were not for them you would
have some windows OPEN" The boy laughed
and said:
"No, they don't go out if L make the win
dows all open"
Then he threw open some of the windows,
but the birds paid no attention to them.
